    Be Circumspect In Going Public With Information Based On Sheer Conjecture, INEC Tells ADC

    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to be circumspect in going public with information based on sheer conjecture.

    TheHintsNews reports that the opposition party had in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi claimed that the number of pre-registrants in Osun State defies “historical patterns and demographic realities.”

    However, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi in a statement issued Thursday said the party could have relied on verifiable data available from official repositories for both ongoing and historical record of its activities rather than going public with information based on speculation.

    He recalled that the Commission rolled out the online pre-registration of voters on 18th August 2025, followed by in-person registration on 25th August 2025.

    Oyekanmi explained that the Commission, in its usual tradition, released the data of online pre- registrations from 18th to 24th August, totalling 1,379,342.

    He added that in the figures released, Osun State led the pack with 393,269, followed by Lagos State – 222,205. The Federal Capital Territory was third with 107,682.

    Oyekanmi said with regard to Osun State, the pattern was similar to what occurred in June 2021 when the Commission launched the online pre-registration for the first time.

    He explained further that within the first 24 hours of launching the portal on 28th June 2021, 59,331 accounts were created.

    Oyekanmi added that by the second week on 12th July 2021, a total of 456,909 accounts were active.

    He noted: “Interestingly, Osun state led with 154,893 pre-registrations at the time. In the third week, 752,011 persons had pre-registered and Osun State was at the front with 232,880.

    “By the eighth week on 23rd August 2021, 2,215,832 persons had pre-registered with Osun State still leading with 365,412.”

    Oyekanmi pointed out that in the 11th week of the exercise on 13th September 2021, 2,953,094 individuals had pre-registered, with Osun State still in the lead with 402,619.

    He further explained that by 18th April 2022, a total of 8,271,647 Nigerians had pre-registered, and Osun was ahead of all States with 708,782 registrations.

    Oyekanmi noted: “If the party were proactive enough, a simple search of past records already in the public domain would have revealed these facts.”

    He said the Commission was upfront during the last CVR exercise by releasing the data on a weekly basis, until it was concluded in 2022.

    Oyekanmi stressed that besides, all persons who pre-registered online were required to physically visit a designated centre to complete their registration process during which their biometrics were captured.

    He noted that throughout the last CVR exercise which lasted over four quarters, the Commission paused after each quarter to display the preliminary voters’ register for claims and objections, to enable citizens draw attention to any individual not qualified to be on the register.

    Oyekanmi revealed that at the same time, the Commission applied its robust Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) to detect and isolate double registrants.

    He said after all the processes and due diligence, over 14 million Nigerians were added to the National Register of Voters for the 2019 general election, pushing the figure from almost 70 million to 84,004,084 voters.

    Oyekanmi stressed that in the same manner, after the 2021/2022 CVR, over 9.4 million new voters were added to the register, totalling 93,469,008 for the 2023 General Election.

    He added: “While it is not in the Commission’s place to develop conjectures on why any state has more registrants than others on our CVR portal, our duty as a Commission, which we take seriously, is to ensure that only real persons, who meet the criteria stipulated in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act 2022 are allowed to register.

    “The Commission will continue to make information available to the public on the progress of the current online and in-person CVR.

    “We appeal to all well-meaning citizens to be circumspect in going public with information based on sheer conjecture when they can rely on authentic and verifiable data available from our official repositories for both ongoing and historical record of our activities.”
